I think that once learned I weaponsmith (or armorsmith) should be able to craft the items as many times as they want. I mean how do you forget? That way all these uber looters lose the huge bucks. I am not a WS or an Uber looter and have no way of getting ahold of a Geo pistol that sells for 20mil. I have never made that much in total and I have been here since nigh release. I dont mind paying the WS's and AS's but dont feel like being bent over a log either. And no oyu dont have to buy the items but it makes it hard to compete in the high level combats PVE or PvP when the devs gear everything to the uber/krayt weapons when most of us cant afford them.
Your server must lack alot of WS competition with prices that high, I sold two krayt carbines today(e11 and dh17) totalling 1.2 million.
I sell geo pistols for between 350-500k and I think that is the norm on the server.
I think you either need to hunt around or maybe your server is just very pricey.

I've seen some people talking about having -1 use disease and poison weapons that never break (they go to -- damage, and 1/1 condition but after that they keep working!)
What's the deal with that?
That is considered an exploit, and the devs will remove the items if enough people complain. There was something in dev tracker a few days ago where they confiscated someone's 800 point disease gun because it was broken but the disease still worked.

Whats the point of making Long Vibro Axes, despite being maybe the best on the server... you can get a much better looted one in short order?
Are you an idiot? Without these NS drops pikeman would simply be unable to do ANYTHING. The WS made pikes are sacks of **edit**. They have terrible damage, speed and accuracy. There are no enhancements for them so no way to get better.
I still get thrashed in PvP with my 920 dmg LVA, so if I had to use some 380 dmg one made by a whiney WS There wouldn't be any point at all playing the class. Until the devs allow pikes to be made that are not terrible you need to lay off the nightsister bitching.
I'm new to the weaponsmithing community and don't even have my own vendor yet, but I personally don't see the harm in RARE legendary weapons. In any kind of gaming universe like this, you need something like that to spice things up for the people who concentrate on combat (unfortunately some games are ALL combat). I mean if you went out and stumbled across Ben Kenobi's old lightsaber that was somehow spirited off the Death Star before its destruction and ended up in a big pile of bones in a rancor lair, it would be pretty cool.
Does such a thing adversely affect weaponsmithing? No, as long as it continues to be rare. How do you define rare? Well if SOE set it to be 1 legendary weapon drop every week on ever server, over the course of a year that is 52 weapons. That may not sound like much, but compare it to the real world. Could you sit down and count 52 truly legendary weapons in human history? You'd be hard pressed to pick out weapons that weren't just famous, but are actually masterpieces of workmanship AND powerful.So they need to be very rare drops, maybe once a month maximum. This wouldn't at all affect a weaponsmith's business.
Maybe a new feature could be added that would make it an extremely rare, random chance that a MASTER weaponsmith using the absolute best resources available could incidentally create a legendary weapon during the course of his regular crafting.

You are right on the money with your geo prices Trean. That is around our standard on Kettemoor.

You want Pikeman fixed? It won't ever happen while NS loot drops are that high. Don't be ignorant.

Pikemen will never be fixed until they do somthing about our weapons and nerfing the only decent weapons we can get is not the answer. The devs can not nerf Nightsister loot UNTIL they make crafted polearms not worthless or they will deliver an irreperable blow to pikemen. So go **edit** at the devs to improve player crafted VLs and LVAs, until that happens I'll enjoy my nightsister loot thank you very much. Call me crazy, but sometimes I just like doing more then 50 dmg to a player wearing full comp in PvP.

The weapons aren't the problem, not anymore atleast. There's a world of difference in using a LVA with -55 accuracy, compared to -25 now. The problem is the Pikeman profession. Targetting the action pool is useless and with polearmhit3 having an automatic posture change, it negates the only other advantage a Pikeman has, knockdowns. So, we target a useless pool and we can't use our best hit under ideal circumstances. Can't forget our defenses either, or lack thereof. 27 toughness and a TKM gets 57? FFS.
Now, the only way to have anything resembling success is to have a very high damage polearm, or DoT polearms. With the current DoT-hate going on, and general ease to obtain a looted weapon, do you think people take the Pikemen community serious when they say they need help?
You think being a Pikeman would be tough without your looted weapons now? Christ. You have it easy now.
